Last week you were on a flight to London. Unfortunately, when you left the plane, you left a bag. You did not remember about the bag until you got to your hotel.

Write a letter to the airline.

In your letter,

explain what has happened

describe the bag and its content

and say what you would like them to do about it.

Sample Answer

Dear sir/mam,
I am writing this letter to bring an unfortunate event to your attention. I onboarded one of your planes from Zurich to London. Post deboarding the plane, I forgot to carry my luggage, which had some essential documents.

In relevance to the specifics, I boarded one of the planes of your airline from Zurich to London, and its number was VIN-13459024. I had a lot of luggage to carry, and I kept one of the bags, which is lost now, under my seat. It is a navy blue-coloured terracotta bag with a golden brooch. There are some essential documents in it. Hence, I would request you to understand the urgency and would humbly implore you to help me search for my bag.

In case you find my bag, I would request you to kindly call me on my contact number, (020)-1789675643. I can come to the London airport to collect the same.

Yours sincerely,
Prakhar Panchbhaiya

She has had innumerous student interactions and has produced a couple of research papers on English language teaching. She soon found that non-native speakers struggled to meet the English language requirements set by foreign universities. It was when she decided to jump ship into IELTS training. From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
